Internalization of Au-AbVF and Au alone by primary CLL-B cells after 1 h incubation. 6a) nanoparticles were seen at the cell periphery (within uncoated tubules and vacuoles); 6b) higher magnification image of 6a; 6c and 6d) showing the internalized particles in different endocytic compartments. Figure 6e to 6h show the internalization of Au nanoparticles alone by primary CLL-B cells after 1 h incubation. 6e) Nanoparticles were seen at the cell periphery (within uncoated tubules and vacuoles); 6f) higher magnification image of 6e; 6f) showing the internalized particles in multivesicular bodies; and 6g) higher magnification image of 6f.
